Having a vertibird swoop by and airdrop it right on your position would be pretty great, or maybe just some high-tech teleporting doodad. Hopefully there'll be some mods to take care of that soon-ish. I have the same annoyance and i try to travel in the Power Armor, but take it off before going inside somewhere, this pleases my autism.

How does power in settlements work? I'm trying to get some lights in the house but I'm a retard and can't figure it out.

I didn't realize until I read an article about it yesterday, that apparently to power a whole house you just wire up a bunch of those conduits on the outside of the building to a pylon and the electricity gets inside by magic I guess (or the metal walls of my shack are now completely electrified).

Or you run the wiring through the walls and the game absctracts the process because it'd be boring to have to wire your virtual house. "Wow these walls just pop up fully formed by magic I guess, thanks Bethesda."

I'm finding all the settlement, power armour and body part specific armour stuff very confusing. Luckily none of that is holding me back from just looting and pillaging everything I find. The game is a technical mess but just setting off and exploring is as atmospheric and compelling as ever.

can your settlers starve? or can I set them to the job of picking food (thus satisfying the requirement for your base's happiness), then trap them in an impregnable sky fortress for all eternity by placing beds in free floating houses and then removing the stairs when they're asleep?

TheHoosier posted:how the hell are you guys playing on Survival and not getting domed by bloatflies?! im not a dumb baby but i feel like im dead before I know where the enemy even is. do you just run around in power armor? I've only used my power armor once or twice after the early fight with it. The first couple hours were certainly difficult due to only having crappy guns and no armor but once you get some good stuff it's not nearly as bad. I still run into random raiders 3-shotting me with pipe rifles at level 23 though

It turns out I'm a loving idiot and forgot to check if it needs DX11 in multiple hours troubleshooting despite it being bloody obvious, and that ignoring the GPU part of the recommended specs in favour of telling myself mentally "I will be fine! I only just got a new GPU" was stupid when I haven't bought a new graphics card since 2008. The problem is me. The solution is  Windows 10 is pretty though!

It's remarkable how thoroughly bethesda dropped the ball on the layered armor stuff. You would think having modular armor would be the perfect opportunity to make all visually distinct clothing work with said armor, but of the like 30 pieces of actual suit/casualwear clothing in the game, only 6-10 actually work with the armor in any capacity, let alone fully (atom cat outfit only lets you equip legs). Meanwhile the unlayerable clothing you do get has such exciting stats as +1-2 stat, or anywhere from 1 to 23 armor. Definitely a great deal compared to the 70 I currently have on my layerable pieces. Also you can't modify any of the clothing that does work so the vault suit is still superior in every way with it's (up to) +20 energy and +25 rad resistance.

If anyone's wondering how to unlock companion quests, just do things they approve of, for Cait as an example, drink booze, pick locks and be a sarcastic rear end in a top hat to everyone in conversation and she'll eventually open up and give you a quest. Of course the time she chose to give me her personal quest was right in the middle of Super Mutant territory so her heartfelt conversation had Super Mutants yelling "DIE NOW HUMAN" and "STUPID LADY" in the distance.

I wonder if all companions even have a quest then, because I got Piper up to max affinity so that I now have her companion perk, but no quest from her.

Bholder posted:Just because it's on your questlog doesn't mean you can't just ignore it. Sure, but when you pick the option "no", the generally recognized response in the negative that means to any human being "I don't want to do that thing you just said I should do", the other person's response should not be "well ok but I'll tell you the details about it anyway and mark it down on your map for you and expect you to reconsider". Being an rear end in a top hat in this game is meaningless because Bethesda wants you to be able to do everything. Turning down quests is meaningless because Bethesda wants you to be able to do everything. edit: The only thing that's not in the name of allowing the player to experience the entire game on one character regardless of how they play is the faction system. And you may think that wanting the player to be able to do it all is not necessarily a bad thing, and in most cases you would be right, but in a game like this what's the point of building/shaping your character's personality or playing how you want to play if it has no bearing on how the game reacts?

I may not be experiencing the exact same situation, but isn't this what Maybe does? When I got the BoS invite, I just said Maybe and he was like "Ok I understand just come here and talk to me if you reconsider"

ThePutty posted:anybody else not like how railroaded the quests feel? you can say no, but the game won't register it at all and refuses to actually drop or let you progress in any quest until you say yes to it. can't i just let the minutemen die and be a giant rear end in a top hat? The only one that really bugged me is in the fancy bar in Diamond City. Mister Cuckolded Guy asks you to come along to tell the bartender he's an rear end in a top hat for loving his wife. Then instead of doing that he whips out a gun. I blew his rear end away, and the bartender offered me a quest to rob some drug dealers. I'm doing a (mostly) good run, so I didn't want to. But there's literally no option to just say "No thanks", all you get is "Yes", "gently caress yes", and "ATTACK HIM" So I had to blow his rear end away too, and Piper didn't even care. Whatever. Top moments for me: Finding my old favorite weapon from Fallout3 The Railway Rifle The showdown with Kellog. I'm partial to setups where the bad guy taunts you as you get closer, then finally just says "gently caress it, let's talk. Then we'll have our fight.". Piper loving suplexed the guy onto the floor as well, I dunno what kind of journalism school she learned that from. If you see a big-rear end sailing ship sitting on some buildings, GO CHECK IT OUT. The entire USS Constitution thing is  I was suprised and pleased to find that a weapon rechambered in different ammo sounds different. I found a .50 hunting rifle laying around, that thing has a fantastic loud roar. I've just decided to console myself a big pile of ammo for my favorite guns. Honestly in a game about shooting mans in the face I want to shoot them with my favorite weapons.

General tips for lazy: Combat # There is a cover-mechanic; push yourself against walls and use the aim key once the weapon is lowered. # Armored enemies are easier to take out when shooting against their weak spots, which is usually the head. Shoot off the helmets if the enemy is fully armored. Base Building # E and TAB can be used instead of RETURN and ESC in most cases. The scroll wheel can be used to move objects you want to put down closer/further away from you (but only when you've got them centered in your view because Bethesda). # Traders sell work orders which turn into Resources once you put them in your workbench. Ghouls like to drop adhesives. # NPCs drop their poo poo (like purified water) in the workbench as well. Check for it under the non-junk tabs. # After hitting the transfer button in the workshop screen, you can apparently (haven't checked myself) scrap your items from there instead of throwing them on the ground. Other poo poo # You can save in the middle of a conversation. # Craft all of them molerats and radioactive bugs into health if you're low on stimpaks.
